Creator admits guessing on the definition. Not seeing anything on Google that looks like a lexical unit. Chuck Entz (talk) 19:09, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
- indeed, "Irish slam" was redlinked on https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Irish#Derived_terms_2 Peppermintpatty111 (talk) 19:29, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
- This was added way back in 2004. Perhaps it was vandalism, or just an honest mistake. 98.170.164.88 19:34, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
- That author's IP address from 2004 is 83.70.34.213, which traces to the ISP "Eircom Limited", located in Castlebar, Ireland, so the author may have intended it as a legitimate contribution. Peppermintpatty111 (talk) 19:56, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
- Why add things you don't know the definition for, though? Waste of everyone's time. My guess would be that it's a reference to a grand slam, but that's also just a guess. Theknightwho (talk) 16:48, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

- It's actually something in the card game bridge. Equinox ◑ 22:38, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
- I’s easy to find online news articles where ‘Irish slam’ means ‘Irish poetry slam’ or ‘Irish grand slam’ (at rugby) with an advanced Google search but so what? That’s clearly SOP and should really be at RFD, imho. What does it mean in bridge? Perhaps that’s worthy of inclusion. Overlordnat1 (talk) 08:29, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
- The bridge thing looks to just be a slam (presumably Ety 2 sense 4) played by Irish players.
- The entry currently doesn't even have a definition, so I'm speedying it (and, yes, deleting the redlinked derived term at Irish). This, that and the other (talk) 10:44, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
